The internet brought me to these great, creepy photos of an abandoned theme parks. These pictures, whilst they are creepy, I think they are beautiful. Theme parks are so colourful and vibrant, the faded, weathered rides remind you that we all grow up and get old. These places that were once loved by children are now nothing but a junkyard full of 'scrap metal'

When I was a kid I use to love going to a theme park we had here in Sydney called Australias Wonderland. Unfortunately it closed in 2004 and was dismantled and bits and pieces were sold off. Now the land is an industrial area (sad face).

I am so super excited, whilst I had a broken leg, my partner won a short film festival and was accepted into the 'International' finals which are being held in none other than Grauman's Chinese Theatre in LA!

So we are super excited having never been to America before. We are only there for a short time so we want to know where the best places to hang out in LA are. We really would like to do some good vintage shopping (of course)! I have found a fair bit online, but I would love to hear if you have some sort of secret vintage shopping/restaurant/bar/hangout. And as no trip to LA is complete without visit Las Vegas, we will also be there for three days!!!
